The 4 person room was great. Amazing views. Good location. Just beware when we come of the steps to get up to the hostel. Breakfast was nice. No kitchen as a downside and not the best for meeting people. But absolutely would stay again

Youth hostel that offers great breakfast included in daily rate. Its dinner is freshly cooked decent three courses for 20CHF, where any other restaurant in town start their main course at 25CHF. A budget friendly place for a few nights stay in Zermatt, considering how expensive the town is.

Super pleased

The most challenging part was the walk from the train station to the hostel. Many stairs and uphill. However, there are taxis available. Staff was extremely accommodating, great breakfasts, comfortable room and super clean, which I love. The kitchen area was spotless, as was the hostel throughout. Can’t say enough good things about the hostel.

Great stay in a beautiful place.

My family of four stayed here in a 4 bed bunk room with bathroom. Worked fine for us for two nights. Pretty quiet and functional. Easy access from the Main Street. Staff were very helpful. Cold Breakfast was good. View of the Matterhorn was excellent.

+ The Matterhorn is visible right from the room window, but you’ll get an even better view from the street. - Not recommended for guests with luggage. Kitchen staff were rude. understand this is a hostel, but there are much ways they can do better.

Nice and clean hostel with a shared sink in each room. The shower stalls are clean, but a bit narrow (width: no enough to raise both elbows out to shoulder height) Good breakfast :) Just 1-2min walk from the bus stop. However, the bus doesn't come around as frequently as some other places. Also, it's a pretty small bus, so depending on your timing, it could get tough getting on board.

Unfortunately we stayed whilst a school group was staying. There was alot of running around the halls, screaming and shouting in the early morning and in the evening. You would have thought they would put the group in one building, but they were spread out all over the three buildings. The facilities were fine, but meal times were so loud that we had to eat ver quickly and leave. Optional Dinners were very worth it. Four courses and delicious. We also opted for fondue one night, delish! The beds were comfortable, the room was basic and clean. The shower played up abit, hot then cold. Overall it was good

Well what can I say, we arrived in Switzerland jumped on a train and eventually arrived in Zermatt not knowing what to expect. We are an older couple not particularly fit although we do walk quite a bit particularly when away. We struggled a bit to find the hostel despite me saving plenty of instructions to my phone, anyway we eventually worked it out with the help of Google maps and a bit of luck. Yes the steps were a bit steep and I was out of breath when I reached the top but all that was worth it when we arrived in our room. The staff were lovely when checking us in really friendly and did see if we could have the evening meal, however due to there being a school party staying there was no availability. The room was warm clean and basic just as we had expected. The view from the windows however far exceeded our expectations to the side was the village of Zermatt with houses and lights dotted all round, to the bottom of the bed was the Matterhorn stunning! The breakfast next morning was a continental breakfast with plenty of choice and again staff were friendly and helpful when you needed anything. I was also so pleased I booked a stay a bit further up in the village as It made us walk round and have a good look, had we been nearer the station a don't think we would of gone up as far as the hostel and missed some of the town. We also found although a bit longer, walking round the road way to the hostel was less strenuous. I would definitely return to this hostel. Thankyou
